Coventry City’s Joe Cole applauds the fans after the game.
Former Chelsea and Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole has praised Mohamed Salah’s strike while also comparing his touch to Lionel Messi. Following Mohamed Salah’s near impossible tight-angle goal on Tuesday
night against RB Salzburg, the Egyptian king has once again stunned
Anfield after scoring twice against Watford. The 27-year-old opened the scoring in the 38th minute after curling a
shot past Ben Foster with his right foot before adding his second
following a sublime backheel before full-time. READ: Salah nets a brace as Liverpool down Watford 2-0 Speaking to BT Sport about Salah’s brace, Joe Cole hailed Sadio
Mane’s assist for the first goal before praising the Egyptian’s
composure, saying: “There’s nothing Watford can do about it.

“That pass there into the space is unbelievable but don’t underestimate that, the weight of pass there. “He’s inviting Salah to take it on his good foot. But then it’s all
about Mo Salah there, we saw him score a goal in the week which was just
unbelievable. “From Watford’s perspective as well, look at the amount of defenders trying to get back.

“I know they’re 0-0 at Anfield, give good credit to them, but the

composure, that little Messi touch, where you chop inside and just want
to get the shot away. “That little extra touch took it out so he could get his body shape right and just lift it into the top corner,” Cole added. Mohamed Salah has now scored 84 goals for Liverpool across all
competitions since joining in 2017, two more than Luis Suarez in seven
fewer games.http://sport2011.blogspot.com/2019/11/mo-salah-picturse.html?m=1
A fruitful August featured a perfect start to the Premier League season and UEFA Super Cup glory for Liverpool. Having begun the month with a penalty shootout defeat by Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, the Reds bounced back immediately to beat Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day of the top-flight campaign. An own goal by Grant Hanley and strikes from Mohamed Salah , Divock Origi and Virgil van Dijk - who would be named UEFA Men's Player of the Year later in August - saw Jürgen Klopp's side surge into a four-goal, half-time lead. An eventful first 45 minutes also saw Adrian make his debut for the club just four days after signing, the goalkeeper replacing the injured Alisson Becker for his first of 11 consecutive appearances in the league and Europe. And, five days later, the Spaniard would prove to be Liverpool's hero in Istanbul. Following a 2-2 draw after extra-time, the Reds overcame Chelsea on pe...
